Thanks to a series of events that caused the American economy to significantly slow down in 2001, only 4,100 Americans became millionaires -- on average -- each month. We've slowed down. Right up until 2001, we averaged 51,000 new millionaires per month for 100 straight months.

Go ahead and add up all the new lottery millionaires and athlete millionaires. They total less than one in every hundred. Add to this all our new entertainment millionaires and lawsuit millionaires. The total of all these categories of millionaire is STILL less than one in every hundred of our millionaires in America.

Obviously, that leads to the question, "So, how are so many self-made millionaires in America developing their personal wealth?" GREAT QUESTION!!

About 30 do it through the stock market. You might want to put your seat belt on for the next sentence.

No less than 6 of every 10 new millionaires do it through a "home-based effort of 4 or more hours per week."

Now you can absorb that and respond however you see fit, provided you remember one excellent, useful fact of life.Numbers don't lie: every month produced on average more than 28,000 Americans become millionaires for more than eighty months. Your brain can't even count the six MILLION new millionaires just between 1992 and 2000. How can we be expected to grasp a thousand new millionaires every single day for two thousand consecutive days?

Yes, take it how you want. "Home-based effort of four or more hours per week." Nine out of every ten people who read this, including you, most definitely CAN find a half-hour per day. God forbid you had to go for kidney dialysis for a half-hour per day. Bet you'd find, whoops, you'd make a half-hour per day, or an hour, or whatever it took to keep you alive, yes?

Each and most all of us already know that you have huge pressures in your life. That's part of life. It's not difficult to imagine how many tasks you have to complete, or at least tackle every day… more often than not for the benefit of someone else, right? If you don't invest five or ten minutes today working on at least one or two of your innermost dreams, you're a fool, because those dreams will always be dreams.

When we put a dream into writing, next to an identified date as its proposed date of achievement, also called a "deadline," it is no longer a dream, however outlandish it may be. It is, by definition, now called a goal. Anything you see and touch started out as something ridiculous or supposedly unachievable. There are no known exceptions. Anyone and anything you admire only came about because somebody gave it at least five or ten minutes per day.

You're invited to mentally picture two young women: one's a hooker, the other's feeding her infant and crack habit out of garbage pails and worse. Both the first young woman and the second, with all that was occurring in their lives, did what it took each day to set aside a portion of time each day on seemingly insane dreams of glory and fame. One sang and sold many millions of records, including many #1 hits. The other became the single highest-paid woman in Hollywood. As of this writing, they're both at the top of their fields, and successful in their personal lives. Both have given enormously of their time and wealth to others.

They invested at least a few minutes per day working on apparently ridiculous dreams.

Want expertise in piano/guitar, learning how to earn thousands per week or have delicious quality time every single week or day with your loved ones; one fact never changes and you can hardly disagree: when you want something, oops again, when you need something urgently enough, you find the time and other resources to pay that bill, get that surgery, or meet the deadline. Is this true, or not?

Now just because up to ten thousand and more Americans, every week, week after month after year after week move into the $20,000 per week average doesn't mean you have to. You can shoot for less.

How are thousands of education-starved, often semi-literate people become millionaires? Pretty simple. Let's see and decide right now how likely you are to become a millionaire in the next 50 months.

First, very few of them do it "instantly" or even in a couple of months. Very very few. Far more than anything else, they labor four or more hours per week at something NOT necessarily related to their career. The average is 81 months from the start. With shortcuts, you can reduce the time required.

Suffolk County, NY. -- 1996, 23,000 residents ofSuffolk County reported to the IRS an annual income of a million or more dollars. Are you paying attention? Have you even heard of Suffolk County?

Guess what? Next door to Suffolk is Nassau County. In 1996, more than forty-three thousand residents claimed million dollar incomes just for that one year alone! Do we need to discuss Boise, Idaho (dozens of billionaires), or Westchester, NY or Marin County or… let's hope you've got the drift.

I wish I could bottle and sell the attitude of desire. Since we know that desire is the gasoline in between a thought and a deed, where both the quantity of the desire and the quality of the desire strictly, mathematically determines the quality and quantity of that gasoline, there can be no greater knowledge of a shortcut than the simplest knowledge of knowing precisely what one wants... and why. When there is a sufficient "why," we invariably find the "how."

The Holiday Inn chain of motels and hotels was born in the deepest throes of America's Great Depression by a man named Wallace who persistently turned lemons into lemonade. He is only one of many who become wealthy during recessions or depressions because people like Wallace "get" the Pathway of Smart People, and at a variety of ages. Some of us get it when we're young, some of us take a bit longer to catch on. There's no shame in taking longer to catch on. The only shame is in learning such useful information and not taking action on it. Better late then never. As you may have noticed, the Pathway of Smart People is indeed about doing it today, even now, before one next goes to sleep. It is a simple and powerful concept.
